Goa ia state that was the epicentre of Portuguese occupation in the Asian region. Portuguese culture is today so imbibed in the lives of Goans that it's difficult to imagine Goa without its Portuguese connection. The result of four and half centuries of rule is today what Goa is, a unique, rich blend of western and eastern culture. This unique blend apparent every where, from art and architecture to food and music,
While on beach, Goa appears to be a very happening place where people are very modern. But don't just go by that. Goa has a very religious side to it also. Be it the Catholics or the Hindus or the Muslims, people of Goa are deeply connected to their religions.

Before Portuguese took over Goa, during the four centuries they were here, and after they left, all these phases in the history of Goa have had a lasting influence. As a result it would be most appropriate to say that Goa's culture has evolved out of its past and present.
The People
Goans, that's how people like to be addresses as.s. They are friendly, full of life people and nothings seems to dampen their spirits. The holiday spirit of Goa reflects in their attitude. They are easy going people and don't believe in getting into rat race. Most Goans practice 'siesta' i.e. pull down the shutters from 1 to 4 pm and retire in the afternoon. Long isolation due to Portuguese occupation and Sahyadris range on land has led to this distinct identity of Goans.
